' FIREARM.

Application filed February'lO, 1927. Serial No. 167,221. r

The inventionrelates to improvements in fire-arms, and especially to shot guns, and

tance in advance of the breech and then coin- I municate with a tapered single bore forming the muzzle end of the barrel. I

The invention will be'described in detail the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l'is a side View in elevation of a 5 shot gum-partly broken away, involving the improvements, j

Figure 2 is a top view, v

Figure 3, a central horizontal longitudinal sectional View of the rear portion of the bar rel and V m I Figure 4c is a View looking into the breech end of the barrel.

In the drawings similar reference charac- .ters willbe used to designate corresponding partsthroughout the several views.

The improved barrel for fire-arms, desigs nated1,h as its breech provided withtwo bores, designated 2, separated by a partition 8 that extends for a short distance in advance of the breech end 4. of the barrel. In advance of 30 the bores 2 and the partition 3 the barrel has but a single bore 5, and the barrel is tapered forwardlytroni the point where the two bores communicate with the single bore to the muzzle 6, the barrel being of full choked type.

The barrel maybe mounted on any construction of stock A and is obviously adapted to shot guns of the breech loading type, the drawings showing aconvent onal form of mounting for the barrel comprising a pivot i7,

but obviously. any other construction may be adopted, asthe invention is adapted to any form of breech loading construction.inc-luding a trigger break.

It will be apparent that this invention provides the same advantages as the doublebarrel gun Without necessitating cleaning but a I single barrel, and furthermore that the factthat the amount-of material to construct the barrel is reduced, the Weight of the gun Will be correspondingly redu'ce'chas well as the expense of manufacture. p

What is claimed is v 1. In a shot gun, a barrel having a plurality of bores at its breech and extended towards plurality of bores having a single bore communicating with said bores and. tapered to the muzzle. I I v I 2. In a. shot gun, a barrel'having a portion acent itsbreechdivided into a plurality of bores substantially parallel with one another,

and the barrel in advance of said portion-having a single bore communicating withthev 1 bores in" said portion and tapered to the muzzle. I y

3. In a shot gun, a barrel having its'breech end divided into two bores by a longitudinal partition, and the bore of the barrel in ad-- Vance of the partit'ion'tapered to the muzzle of the barrel. I In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

B. JONES.
